Die Erfindung betrifft ein magnetisch-induktives Durchflussmessgerät, mit einer Mehrzahl von Funktionseinheiten und mit einem allen Funktionseinheiten gemeinsamen Gehäuse, wobei jede Funktionseinheit zumindest ein Messrohr für den Durchfluss eines elektrisch leitenden Mediums, eine eine Feldspule aufweisende Magnetfelderzeugungseinrichtung zur Erzeugung eines zumindest auch senkrecht zur Längsachse des Messrohrs verlaufenden Magnetfeldes und mindestens zwei Messelektroden aufweist und wobei die virtuelle Verbindungslinie der beiden Messelektroden zumindest im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Richtung des das Messrohr senkrecht zur Längsachse des Messrohrs durchsetzenden Magnetfeldes verläuft. Dabei ist im Gehäuse für die Messrohre aller Funktionseinheiten ein gemeinsamer Mediumszuflussanschluss oder ein gemeinsamer Mediumsabflussanschluss verwirklicht und/oder ist für die Magnetfelderzeugungseinrichtungen aller Funktionseinheiten eine gemeinsame Stromversorgung verwirklicht und/oder ist für die Messelektroden aller Funktionseinheiten eine gemeinsame Auswerteeinheit verwirklicht.The invention relates to a magnetic-inductive flowmeter, comprising a plurality of functional units and a housing common to all functional units, wherein each functional unit at least one measuring tube for the flow of an electrically conductive medium, a field coil magnetic field generating means for generating at least perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the Measuring tube extending magnetic field and at least two measuring electrodes and wherein the virtual connecting line of the two measuring electrodes extends at least substantially perpendicular to the direction of the measuring tube perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube passing magnetic field. In this case, a common medium inflow connection or a common medium outflow connection is realized in the housing for the measuring tubes of all functional units and / or a common power supply is realized for the magnetic field generating devices of all functional units and / or a common evaluation unit is realized for the measuring electrodes of all functional units.
Magnetisch-induktive Durchflussmessgeräte sind seit Jahrzehnten umfangreich im Stand der Technik bekannt. Dazu wird exemplarisch auf die Literaturstelle "
Das grundlegende Prinzip eines magnetisch-induktiven Durchflussmessgeräts zur Durchflussmessung eines strömenden Mediums geht auf Michael Faraday zurück, der bereits im Jahre 1832 vorgeschlagen hat, das Prinzip der elektromagnetischen Induktion zur Messung der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit eines elektrisch leitfähigen Mediums anzuwenden.The basic principle of a magnetic-inductive flowmeter for measuring the flow of a flowing medium goes back to Michael Faraday, who proposed in 1832 to apply the principle of electromagnetic induction for measuring the flow velocity of an electrically conductive medium.
Nach dem faradayschen Induktionsgesetz entsteht in einem von einem Magnetfeld durchsetzten strömenden, elektrisch leitfähigen Medium eine elektrische Feldstärke senkrecht zur Strömungsrichtung des Mediums und senkrecht zum Magnetfeld. Das faradaysche Induktionsgesetz wird bei magnetisch-induktiven Durchflussmessgeräten dadurch ausgenutzt, dass mittels einer Magnetfelderzeugungseinrichtung, die mindestens eine Magnetfeldspule, üblicherweise zwei Magnetfeldspulen aufweist, ein während des Messvorgangs sich zeitlich veränderndes Magnetfeld erzeugt wird und das Magnetfeld wenigstens teilweise das durch ein Messrohr strömende elektrisch leitfähige Medium durchsetzt. Dabei weist das erzeugte Magnetfeld wenigstens eine Komponente senkrecht zur Längsachse des Messrohrs bzw. senkrecht zur Strömungsrichtung des Mediums auf.According to Faraday's law of induction, an electric current is generated in a flowing, electrically conductive medium passing through a magnetic field Field strength perpendicular to the flow direction of the medium and perpendicular to the magnetic field. The Faraday's law of induction is exploited in magnetic-inductive flowmeters in that by means of a magnetic field generating device which has at least one magnetic field coil, usually two magnetic field coils, one during the measuring process itself time-varying magnetic field is generated and the magnetic field at least partially passes through the flowing through a measuring tube electrically conductive medium. In this case, the generated magnetic field has at least one component perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube or perpendicular to the flow direction of the medium.
Wenn es einleitend heißt, dass jede Funktionseinheit eine Magnetfelderzeugungseinrichtung zur Erzeugung eines zumindest auch senkrecht zur Längsachse des Messrohrs verlaufenden Magnetfeldes aufweist, dann sei hier noch einmal darauf hingewiesen, dass das Magnetfeld zwar vorzugsweise senkrecht zur Längsachse des Messrohrs bzw. senkrecht zur Strömungsrichtung des Mediums verläuft, ausreichend jedoch ist, dass eine Komponente des Magnetfeldes senkrecht zur Längsachse des Messrohrs bzw. senkrecht zur Strömungsrichtung des Mediums verläuft.If it is stated in the introduction that each functional unit has a magnetic field generating device for generating a magnetic field extending at least also perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube, then it should be pointed out once again that the magnetic field is preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube or perpendicular to the flow direction of the medium , but it is sufficient that a component of the magnetic field is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube or perpendicular to the flow direction of the medium.
Eingangs ist ausgeführt worden, dass zu jeder Funktionseinheit mindestens zwei Messelektroden gehören, wobei die virtuelle Verbindungslinie der beiden Messelektroden zumindest im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Richtung des das Messrohr durchsetzenden Magnetfeldes verläuft. Vorzugsweise verläuft die virtuelle Verbindungslinie der beiden Messelektroden tatsächlich - mehr oder weniger - senkrecht zur Richtung des das Magnetfeld durchsetzenden Magnetfeldes.Initially, it has been stated that at least two measuring electrodes belong to each functional unit, wherein the virtual connecting line of the two measuring electrodes runs at least substantially perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field passing through the measuring tube. Preferably, the virtual connecting line of the two measuring electrodes actually runs - more or less - perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field passing through the magnetic field.
Die durch Induktion im strömenden, elektrisch leitfähigen Medium erzeugte elektrische Feldstärke kann durch direkt, also galvanisch mit dem Medium in Kontakt stehende Messelektroden als elektrische Spannung gemessen werden oder auch von nicht direkt, also nicht galvanisch mit dem Medium in Kontakt stehenden Elektroden kapazitiv detektiert werden. Aus der gemessenen Spannung wird dann der Durchfluss des strömenden Mediums durch das Messrohr abgeleitet.The electric field strength produced by induction in the flowing, electrically conductive medium can be measured as electrical voltage by measuring electrodes which are directly in contact with the medium or else capacitively detected by electrodes which are not directly, ie not galvanically in contact with the medium. From the measured voltage, the flow of the flowing medium is then discharged through the measuring tube.
Der Messfehler bei im Stand der Technik bekannten magnetisch-induktiven Durchflussmessgeräten ist heute relativ klein, ein Messfehler kleiner als 0,2 % kann realisiert werden.The measurement error in known in the prior art electromagnetic flowmeters is relatively small today, a measurement error less than 0.2% can be realized.
Zu bekannten magnetisch-induktiven Durchflussmessgeräten wird beispielhaft auf die deutschen Offenlegungsschriften
In einer Vielzahl von Anwendungen ist es erforderlich, mehrere magnetisch-induktive Durchflussmessgeräte benachbart zueinander anzuordnen und zu betreiben.In a variety of applications, it is necessary to arrange and operate multiple electromagnetic flowmeters adjacent to one another.
Ein erstes und ein zweites magnetisch-induktives Durchflussmessgerät sind für die folgenden Betrachtungen dann benachbart, wenn wenigstens das von der Magnetfelderzeugungseinrichtung des ersten Durchflussmessgeräts erzeugte Magnetfeld das Messrohr des zweiten Durchflussmessgeräts zumindest teilweise durchsetzt. Selbstverständlich ist eine benachbarte Anordnung nicht auf zwei Durchflussmessgeräte begrenzt.A first and a second electromagnetic flowmeter are adjacent to the following considerations when at least the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating device of the first flowmeter at least partially passes through the measuring tube of the second flowmeter. Of course, an adjacent arrangement is not limited to two flowmeters.
Oftmals ist es nicht möglich, beispielsweise bei begrenztem räumlichen Verhältnissen, den räumlichen Abstand von magnetisch-induktiven Durchflussmessgeräten so groß zu wählen, dass sie nicht benachbart sind. Eine Abschirmung der Durchflussmessgeräte wäre mit zusätzlichen Kosten und Aufwand verbunden.Often it is not possible, for example, with limited spatial conditions, to choose the spatial distance of electromagnetic flowmeters so large that they are not adjacent. A shielding of the flowmeters would be associated with additional costs and effort.
Führen das erste Durchflussmessgerät und das zweite Durchflussmessgerät im Betrieb Messvorgänge durch, so ist unbekannt zum einen, ob sich die Messvorgänge der beiden benachbarten Durchflussmessgeräte zeitlich überlappen, und zum anderen, wie groß im Fall einer zeitlichen Überlappung die im Allgemeinen nicht konstante zeitliche Überlappung ist.If the first flowmeter and the second flowmeter are in operation during measurement, it is unknown whether the measurement processes of the two adjacent flowmeters overlap in time, and on the other hand, how large in the case of a temporal overlap is the generally non-constant temporal overlap.
Wird eine zeitliche Überlappung der Messvorgänge der beiden benachbarten Durchflussmessgeräte angenommen, so überlagern sich im Messrohr des zweiten Durchflussmessgeräts das von der Magnetfelderzeugungseinrichtung des zweiten Durchflussmessgeräts erzeugte Magnetfeld und das sich bis zum Messrohr des zweiten Durchflussmessgeräts erstreckende, von der Magnetfelderzeugungseinrichtung des ersten Durchflussmessgeräts erzeugte Magnetfeld. Die Überlagerung der beiden Magnetfelder hat eine auf unbekannte Weise variierende induzierte elektrische Spannung und eine entsprechende Beeinflussung der Durchflussmessungen zur Folge, was eine Reduktion der Messqualität bedeutet. So kann beispielsweise bei konstantem Durchfluss durch das Messrohr eines Durchflussmessgeräts ein variierender Durchfluss von dem Durchflussmessgerät angezeigt werden. Selbstverständlich beeinflusst auch der Messvorgang des zweiten Durchflussmessgeräts den gemessenen Wert des Durchflusses des ersten Durchflussmessgeräts.If a temporal overlap of the measuring processes of the two adjacent flowmeters is assumed, then the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating device of the second flowmeter and the magnetic field generating device of the second flowmeter extending to the measuring tube of the second flowmeter, generated by the magnetic field generating device of the first flowmeter superimposed in the measuring tube of the second flowmeter. The superposition of the two magnetic fields has an unknown way varying induced electrical voltage and a corresponding influence on the flow measurements, which means a reduction in the quality of measurement. For example, at constant flow through the meter tube of a flow meter, a varying flow rate from the flow meter may be displayed. Of course, the measurement process of the second flowmeter also affects the measured value of the flow of the first flowmeter.
Mit dem Problem der Verbesserung der Messqualität bei benachbart angeordneten magnetisch-induktiven Durchflussmessgeräten und einer verbesserten Anordnung benachbarter magnetisch-induktiver Durchflussmessgeräte befasst sich bereits die am 9. September 2011 durchgeführte, also nicht zum Stand der Technik gehörende deutsche Patentanmeldung 10 2011
Nach dem, was einleitend ausgeführt worden ist, geht es vorliegend nicht um räumlich getrennte, jedoch benachbart angeordnete magnetisch-induktive Durchflussmessgeräte, geht es vielmehr um ein magnetisch-induktives Durchflussmessgerät mit einer Mehrzahl von Funktionseinheiten und mit einem allen Funktionseinheiten gemeinsamen Gehäuse. Es geht also um mehrere magnetisch-induktive Durchflussmessgeräte, die insoweit nicht räumlich getrennt sind, als sie ein gemeinsames Gehäuse aufweisen. Ein solches Durchflussmessgerät wird von der Firma Kirchgaesser Industrie Elektronik GmbH unter der Bezeichnung "MULTIMIDEX" hergestellt und vertrieben.According to what has been stated in the introduction, this is not about spatially separated, but adjacently arranged magnetic-inductive flowmeters, it is rather a magnetic-inductive flowmeter with a plurality of functional units and with a common housing all functional units. So it's about several magnetic-inductive flowmeters, which are not spatially separated insofar as they have a common housing. Such a flowmeter is manufactured and sold by Kirchgaesser Industrie Elektronik GmbH under the name "MULTIMIDEX".
Eine Anordnung mit mehreren magnetisch-induktiven Durchflussmessgeräten, die Teil eines Messsystems sind, offenbart die
Eine Ausgestaltung eines magnetisch-induktiven Durchflussmessgeräts, bei dem Polschuhe Verwendung finden, offenbart die
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein magnetisch-induktives Durchflussmessgerät der eingangs beschriebenen Art anzugeben, das relativ einfach aufgebaut ist und einfach hergestellt werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a magnetic-inductive flowmeter of the type described above, which is relatively simple in construction and can be easily manufactured.
Die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe ist zunächst und im Wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, dass sich an die Feldspule beidseitig jeweils ein senkrecht zur Spulenachse verlaufendes Magnetfeldführungsteil anschließt, dass die Magnetfeldführungsteile an ihren der Feldspule fernen Enden jeweils einen Polschuh aufweisen, die beiden Polschuhe aufeinander gerichtet sind und zwischen den beiden Polschuhen das Messrohr verläuft, und dass innerhalb eines Polschuhs ein Kanal für die Durchführung einer zu einer Messelektrode führenden Anschlussleitung vorgesehen ist.The object underlying the invention is initially and essentially solved by the fact that the field coil on both sides in each case perpendicular to the coil axis magnetic field guide part followed, that the magnetic field guide parts at their ends of the field coil each have a pole piece, the two pole pieces are directed towards each other and between the two pole pieces, the measuring tube extends, and that within a pole piece, a channel for carrying a leading to a measuring electrode connecting line is provided.
Weist die Feldspule, wie üblich, einen Spulenkern aus einem magnetisch gut leitenden Material auf, dann bietet es sich an, konstruktiv dafür zu sorgen, dass sich die Magnetfeldführungsteile an den Spulenkern anschließen.Does the field coil, as usual, a coil core made of a magnetically highly conductive material, then it makes sense to constructively ensure that the magnetic field guide parts connect to the coil core.
Es empfiehlt sich, den Durchmesser der Polschuhe größer zu wählen als der Durchmesser des Messrohres ist, was zwei Vorteile hat. Einerseits ist in der Ebene senkrecht zur Längsachse des Messrohrs, also in der Ebene, in der die Messelektroden vorgesehen sind, die durchschnittliche magnetische Induktion größer. Andererseits hat das magnetische Feld in Längsrichtung des Messrohrs eine größere Ausdehnung.It is recommended to choose the diameter of the pole pieces larger than the diameter of the measuring tube, which has two advantages. On the one hand, in the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube, ie in the plane in which the measuring electrodes are provided, the average magnetic induction is greater. On the other hand, the magnetic field in the longitudinal direction of the measuring tube has a greater extent.
Durch einen Kanal innerhalb eines Polschuhs können die Anschlussleitungen für beide Messelektroden geführt sein. Es kann jedoch auch in jedem Polschuh ein Kanal für die Durchführung einer zu einer Messelektrode führenden Anschlussleitung realisiert sein. Jedenfalls empfiehlt es sich, den zuvor erläuterten Kanal bzw. die Kanäle über einen spitzen Winkel zur Polschuhachse verlaufen zu lassen.Through a channel within a pole piece, the connecting leads for both measuring electrodes can be performed. However, it can also be realized in each pole piece a channel for the implementation of a leading to a measuring electrode connecting cable. In any case, it is recommended that the channel or channels explained above run at an acute angle to the pole shoe axis.
Bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen magnetisch-induktiven Durchflussmessgeräts, bei der die Magnetfeldführungsteile an ihren den Feldspulen fernen Enden jeweils einen Polschuh aufweisen, empfiehlt es sich, das Messrohr beidseitig mit jeweils einer den Polschuhen zugeordneten Polschuhkammer zu versehen. Solche Polschuhkammern ermöglichen es, während des Zusammenbaus des erfindungsgemäßen magnetisch-induktiven Durchflussmessgeräts die Magnetfeldführungsteile mit den daran vorgesehenen Polschuhen relativ zum Messrohr in einfacher weise richtig auszurichten, und nach dem Zusammenbau sind die Magnetfeldführungsteile mit den daran vorgesehene Polschuhen in Bezug auf das Messrohr richtig positioniert und fixiert. Das kann noch dadurch verbessert werden, dass die Polschuhe und die Polschuhkammern einander entsprechende Ausrichtungs- und Rastelemente aufweisen.In the preferred embodiment of a magneto-inductive flowmeter according to the invention, in which the magnetic field guide parts each have a pole piece at their ends remote from the field coils, it is advisable to provide the measuring tube on both sides with a pole shoe chamber assigned to the pole shoes. Such pole shoe chambers make it possible during the assembly of the electromagnetic flowmeter according to the invention, the magnetic guide parts with the pole pieces provided relative to the measuring tube in a simple manner to align properly, and after assembly, the magnetic field guide parts are properly positioned with the pole pieces provided thereon with respect to the measuring tube and fixed. This can be further improved by the pole shoes and the pole shoe chambers having corresponding alignment and latching elements.
Schließlich kann es vorteilhaft sein, zumindest einseitig eine der Feldspule zugeordnete Abschlussscheibe vorzusehen und die Abschlussscheibe mit einer Nut zur Führung und Fixierung der der Feldspule zugeordneten Anschlussleitung zu versehen.Finally, it may be advantageous to provide at least one side of the field coil associated lens and the lens with a To provide groove for guiding and fixing of the field coil associated connection line.
